A national cybersecurity company headquartered in Virginia has added a second headquarters in Colorado Springs. The company officially opened its new location Friday, with company leadership joined by U.S. Rep. Jeff Crank.

Cyberspatial is no stranger to the region as company leadership graduated from the Catalyst Campus for Technology and Innovation (CCTI) accelerator program two years ago.

Crank, who serves on the House Armed Services Committee’s Cyber, Information Technologies and Innovation subcommittee, said companies like Cyberspatial make Colorado Springs a more attractive and logical home for Space Command. When President Donald Trump retook the White House in January, Alabama lawmakers were confident he would follow through on his previous decision to move the combatant command to Huntsville, Ala., though no action has yet been taken. President Joe Biden announced in 2023 the command would stay in the Springs.

“This is just another example of hundreds of companies that have some presence here in Colorado Springs who are small and innovative, and they’re doing amazing things in space and cyber,” Crank said. “It’s the workforce that’s here, that really is unique to Colorado Springs. … I don’t think you can replicate that anywhere else.”

Cyberspatial will support 10 to 15 local employees and serve as a hub for a mostly remote workforce. In total, the company has about 30 employees.

The new headquarters is downtown at 455 E. Pikes Peak Ave., across the hallway from Crank’s office and across the street from Catalyst Campus.

“It was an amazing experience,” Lawrence Nunn, the company CEO, said of the Catalyst accelerator program. “I knew government, I came from government, but I had holes in my knowledge that needed filling and CCTI had the tools to fill those holes.”

The accelerator is a “commercially-augmented technology advancement” program that serves as a place for startup CEOs to learn but also develop their concepts into products.

Cyberspatial’s flagship product, Teleseer, is called a “next generation network mapping and analytics platform.” It allows government and military cybersecurity workers to see, in “near real time,” every single device and connection accessing their network.

Rather than being device security, like consumer tools advertised on television or radio, Cyberspatial watches network activity. The 100% passive system requires no installation or app but simply watches traffic coming and going, exposing bad actors who may think they’re hidden.

This was something the Department of Defense wanted and Congress mandated, Nunn said.

“I used to run this stuff in the Army before I retired and what we found was nobody knows what’s on their networks and they definitely didn’t know what it was doing,” Nunn said. “Space Force was hungry for this capability. … They sponsored the Catalyst Accelerator through the Catalyst Campus and, of eight companies, we were the sole winner of the Space Force contract.”

Company leadership did not disclose the contract amount.
